So, the scenario goes like this: you arrive to another continent, to a country you’ve never been to before and which is so much different to what you are used to seeing, that you are eager to see, experience and record as much as possible.
Some people who know you feel sorry for you, others envy you but everyone agrees, it’s “something completely different”.
Finally, you arrive but soon realize that your daily routine consists of being picked up from your accommodation at the edge of town and driven to office where you do your X hours of work and are driven back. In the meantime, sun went down and everyone, from visitors like me, to locals, agree that it is not very advisable to get out after dark (and where would you go since, remember, you live at the edge of town).
What to do in a situation like that? You adjust in fairly efficient but morally (ethically?) dubious way.
Not to go on with this whole theory; frustrated for not being able to take any photos, out of desperation I started doing something which does not strike me as particularly nice and frankly, smacks of human safari.
Taking photos from the car!
There are bunch of things going on on the street, from cow herd marching in perfect discipline in one of the road lanes (was too slow for that one so I have no photo proof), giant greetings to the most popular politician today, through sometimes hilarious signs on the cars and of course, ubiquitous street vendors selling about anything you can think of and being prepared to run between and after cars on a 3-lane road just to make the sales.
So, as a result of my frustration, here are few photos taken from the back seat (click the picture link below to be taken to another web-page. Failing that, use the textual link next to it).
